Greta Gerwig has revealed her surprising snack habits and why she often skips lunch breaks while working on film sets.
Appearing on the Ruthie’s Table 4 podcast, Gerwig’s husband and fellow director Noah Baumbach quipped, “It's hard to come back equally strong after a lunch break.”
Voicing her thoughts, the Barbie actress articulated, “The one version that works - and I got this from David Lynch - is if you meditate during lunch, it gives you a second morning.”
She added, “Whether it's an informal meditation or not, it's a chance to recharge a little bit before you keep making decisions.”
“If you tell the crew you're going to meditate, they think, in a way, maybe I should do that,” the Hollywood actress mentioned.
Moving forward, Gerwig stated that even though she tries to be mindful, she has some not-so-glamorous eating habits when making films.
“I revert to really juvenile food habits. I eat Cheetos in sort of astonishing quantities. Cheetos and Diet Coke,” the Little Woman star revealed.
In addition, Baumbach’s wife admitted that he is more disciplined and prefers salad as his comfort food, which frustrates her.
“The fact that your comfort is salad just says everything. He really is the most effortlessly disciplined person I know. And it's just so annoying,” Greta Gerwig jokingly said.
